If you want to understand why “just keep showing up” is horrible advice, go to the same commercial gym for 6 months.

This is much more blackpill than commonly assumed.
The blackpill: 95% of people will never gain significant muscle no matter what they do, thanks to their genetics.
Not because they're "training wrong" but because even the best training methods only work for genetic outliers.

“Gentlemen, I advance the notion that a well-lived life should be our chief pursuit: to supreme happiness in this life, and the next.”
“I agree with this notion.”
“Similarly.”
“I too am in agreement.”
“Splendid! Now, we must carefully discern what that particularly means.”

Sharing Ray Peat's unconditional positive regard is more important than spreading technical details. That's what people remember.

"Is there anyone out there..." The answer is either Hanz/Richard/Antidoc/Lexner. Either they've done it or know someone who has done it and can point you in the right direction

I don't personally care for bahdibuilding & 'roids & peptides but if you do, @PGC1a_RB and @MichaelLexner are great.
In a field full of grifters & charlatans, these guys stand out just by the content of their characters.

I know a bear who’s bigger than most/all of your favourite influencers who’s on less gear and less protein
There’s more to it than just muscles
Its like saying collagen is useless because it’s not a complete protein source
I’m more on the camp 0.7g/lb from animal source and the rest is collagen + trace source from my carbs which usually brings me to 1g/lb
Feels a lot better on the gut, easier to hit my micros on a deficit, more energy blabla subjective shit added
Towards the end of a cut, yea I can see the value of bumping protein to 1.5g+
hEaLtH isn’t the focus at that stage

💯, this is why I'm an asshole on Twitter. Too many grifters & idiots.

Hey Kruse, how about:
When you pack mitochondria into fat, you are stealing that energy from your brain and heart—the two organs that actually determine how long you live.
Dr. Jack Kruse says bodybuilders die decades earlier than the average person.
His friend Charles Poliquin is proof.
• World-class physique
• Looked like a Greek statue
• One of the most famous strength coaches alive
Kruse told him repeatedly he was going to die before 60.
He died of a heart attack at 58.
Kruse says the pattern is everywhere:
• NFL players die early.
• Professional wrestlers die early
• Gorillas die 20-30 years earlier than hhumans
They all look jacked. They all die young. Kruse says the reason is physics.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
When you pack mitochondria into muscle, you are stealing that energy from your brain and heart—the two organs that actually determine how long you live.
He points to Kleiber's law. Every mammal on Earth gets the same number of heartbeats in a lifetime. Gorillas have far more muscle than humans. They also die 20-30 years sooner.
Nature chose brain over muscle for longevity.
"Go find me anybody who's 85 years old that looks like that. You're going to find like not a lot of people."
The longest-lived humans on Earth are small people with belly fat. Not bodybuilders.
"Where you bury your mitochondrial density is the key."

Overtraining in isolation is very difficult to do. Almost impossible if you’re not an athlete
Overtraining when considering your lifestyle might be a different story
Lifestyle includes everything.. your habits and obligations
Maybe you’re under recovering
Maybe your lifestyle leaves you stressed and inflamed so wtv volume you do just adds oil to the fire
Stop think about just muscles
If you have gut issues, inflammation, tendonitis, joint pain, need large amount of stimulants just to function.. there’s a problem
Could be your training isn’t adapted to your lifestyle or that your lifestyle needs revising
There’s no one size fits all

During the summer months in the Arctic Circle, polar bears can be found snoozing among grass and fireweed on patches of land that emerge as sea ice retreats. They enjoy naps and can sleep up to 18 hours a day
